Arcana Coelestia (Potts) n. 10084

Previous Number Next Number Next Translation See Latin 

10084. And thou shalt take them from their hand, and shalt burn them on the altar upon the burnt-offering. That this signifies unition with the Divine good of the Divine love, is evident from the signification of "taking from their hand," as being the state after acknowledgment; for when by the "waving on the palms of Aaron and his sons" is signified the acknowledgment whereby there is Divine life, by "taking those things from their hand" is signified the state after acknowledgment, which is a state of conjunction with good, and which is signified by "burning on the altar upon the burnt-offering." For by "burning on the altar" is signified to be conjoined with good (see n. 10052); and by the "burn-offering" is signified and described the conjunction itself.
